Mediation offers another way to resolve business disputes, one that can help you and the other party find a mutual resolution to address the needs and interests of all concerned.

Personal Disputes

Mediation is particularly valuable to resolve personal disputes, especially where an ongoing relationship is desired or required, as in a divorce with children.

Other Disputes

Nearly all types of disputes can be resolved through mediation. Many types of issues can be settled quickly and cost-effectively in privacy.

The Process

Mediation is a private, confidential way to resolve conflicts quickly and efficiently using a neutral third party to moderate settlement negotiations.

Why Mediation?

Attorneys often recommend mediation to their clients. It is a sign they think a dispute can be resolved through discussion and they care about their client. Why?

Faster. The entire process can take as little as an hour and rarely takes more than one day. Complex issues and multiple parties may require more than one session.

Better. Problem solving allows creativity to come forward. It can even be fun! Mediation takes place in private, out of the public eye, and most agreements are confidential.

Cheaper. Mediation costs less than 10% of a trial in a public courtroom, according to a national study.

What is the Typical Outcome?

Successful. Nationwide, about 70% of mediated disputes settle. My experience has been even better with agreements over 80% of the time.

Insightful. Even in the small number of cases not completely resolved in mediation, key issues are identified and some may be resolved. Just seeing the issues clearly helps parties decide whether to take the dispute to the next step.
